Chapter 153: Breaking Through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm, Terrifying True Power Attributes (II)
With that, the two parted ways at Building C, and Chen Chu went to the logistics department… which turned out to be bustling today, with returning students exchanging for resources useful to them. It took almost half an hour before it was Chen Chu’s turn.
“Hello, I want to exchange for a bottle of high-quality dragon essence and a level 3 Life Crystal.”
“High-quality dragon essence?” The staff member suddenly looked up, a surprised expression on their face.
High-quality resources weren’t something ordinary students could afford. The starting price was 100 contribution points, and high-quality dragon essence was several times more precious.
Chen Chu coughed and explained, “I practice the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body, and I have the opportunity to exchange for dragon essence at a discounted rate.”
“I see. Please wait a moment. The first time discount for the essence is 30 points, and the level 3 Life Crystal costs 40. With your thirty percent off discount, this will cost a total of 58 points.”
With the promotion of his rank to level II+, also called level 6, the previous twenty percent discount that Chen Chu had obtained from the ranking competition had been raised to thirty percent, making it cheaper to exchange for resources. The only limitation was that it didn’t apply to already discounted resources.
Soon, Chen Chu walked out of the logistics department with a bottle of dragon essence and a Life Crystal in hand. He was too excited to eat lunch, instead immediately applying for a personal cultivation room.
“You have converted one level 3 Life Crystal and gained 37 attribute points.”
Looking at the attribute points that had increased to 42 on the transparent page, Chen Chu opened the bottle containing the dragon essence and drank it in one gulp.
At the same time, a thought resonated in his mind. Enhance the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body to stage 4.
Unlike when practicing the Dragon Elephant Art for the first time in the First Heavenly Realm, when breaking through to the fourth stage of the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body, cultivators needed to directly consume the essence of dragon beasts.
As Chen Chu drank the essence, a violent and overbearing force erupted within him, wreaking havoc on his body.
In this world, one couldn’t absorb the strength of mutated beasts simply by drinking their blood. Just like incompatible genes, once the essence containing the mutated beast’s energy was consumed, it would become a poison that would ravage a person’s body.
This bottle in particular had contained the essence of a level 7 mutated dragon beast. The destructive power was too much for even Chen Chu’s physical body to handle.
However, just as Chen Chu’s expression started to change, the dragon true power in his dantian suddenly surged out, enveloping the essence that was destroying his body.
As pure transcendent energy flowed in and mixed with the essence, the dragon true power circulated at ten times its usual speed within Chen Chu’s body, emitting a rumbling sound like a river rushing.
As the true power was refined, traces of the essence’s power were purified and continuously integrated into Chen Chu’s flesh, altering his physique. The nature of the dragon true power also changed, becoming more domineering and condensed, resembling the power of a true dragon.
At the same time, the seed of the dragon elephant will in Chen Chu’s consciousness burst open, and his mental power circulated madly, gradually forming a huge shadow in his consciousness.
Huff! Huff!
With the breakthrough, Chen Chu’s breathing became heavier, like a dormant dragon elephant.
Normally, during the breakthrough to the Fourth Heavenly Realm, the cultivator’s true power would transform. This transformation wouldn’t alter the flesh too much, but the true power would surge immensely.
If true power in the Third Heavenly Realm was a mist, then true power in the Fourth would be a liquid, with a density and explosive power several times that of Third.
As a high-level art, and also one of the strongest arts, the Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body transformed both the cultivator’s flesh and their true power after absorbing the dragon essence.
Chen Chu’s body now had patterns resembling dragon scales. An invisible yet tangible power started to condense within his flesh and blood, slowly merging with the circulating true power, which slowly turned from black to dark red.
At the same time, dark red true power formed in Chen Chu’s dantian.
Roar! Roar!
In the void, the dragon elephant was vaguely roaring.
Boom!
Chen Chu’s consciousness exploded, and a terrifying aura burst from his body, forming gusts of wind around him that loudly blew his hair and clothes about.
After another half an hour passed, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes, revealing the double-layered pupils. The outer layer was as black as the night sky, while the layer behind it was a faint golden vertical pupil. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n(.)c𝒐m
His eyes exuded a cold and majestic oppressive force, like a fierce true dragon. This aura, however, only seemed to be present when his eyes were open, vanishing whenever he had them closed.
“So this is what it feels like to reach the Fourth Heavenly Realm,” Chen Chu said. He slightly waved his right hand, and a strong wind instantly swept through the room.
Looking at the wall more than ten meters away, Chen Chu took a step forward. With a light puff, he left a deep one-inch footprint on the tough-as-iron floor.
Then, as if he teleported, Chen Chu immediately appeared right in front of the wall. His right arm muscles slightly swelled, and a thick, dark red true energy circulated around them as he slammed his palm forward.
Boom!
The room was designed to withstand attacks from cultivators at the peak of the Fourth Heavenly Realm. Under his palm, however, half of the wall outright exploded, sending countless pieces of rubble and alloy crashing into the small forest outside. Thankfully, there hadn’t been anyone on the other side; if there had been, he wouldn’t have been so reckless in testing his strength.
Looking at the half-collapsed wall caused by his palm, Chen Chu couldn’t help but pause in shock.
After breaking through to the Fourth Heavenly Realm, his strength had undergone a transformation, from vague to tangible. This could be combined with his true power to erupt with terrifying force.
In addition, the nature of his true power had also become extremely domineering. Not only had it condensed and materialized, but it had also gained an explosive characteristic akin to a bomb.
The changes from this breakthrough were even greater than he had expected.
Exhaling deeply, Chen Chu suppressed his excitement and summoned the attribute page with a thought.
Realm: Fourth Heavenly Realm
Physique: 595 → 645
Strength: 640 → 690
Agility: 540 → 560
Spirit: 531 → 581
Ability: Soul Splitting+
Martial Arts: Lotus Platform Meditation Art, Dragon Elephant Tyrant Body+ [Stage 4, physical body possesses true dragon properties, true power as tyrannical as dragon force], Insightful Blade [Maximum]

Attribute Points: 12
Equipment: Sharp Saber [Durability +10, Sharpness +10]
Avatar: Six-horned Sword Armored Fiery Beast…
Evolution Point: 2870/3000
This breakthrough had increased his Physique, Strength, and Spirit by 50 points each, while Agility had only increased by 20, which was likely related to the characteristics of the art.
However, these were not the most important changes. The biggest change was that he had gained two attributes this time; his physical body’s power becoming tangible, and his true power becoming condensed, as tyrannical as dragon force.
With his physical power becoming real and merging with his true power, Chen Chu’s terrifying physical strength could now be fully unleashed, and his combat power had skyrocketed.
After carefully examining the rest of the attribute page, Chen Chu closed his eyes again to continue contemplating the changes brought about by this breakthrough.
In addition to his physical true power, there had also been a significant impact on his consciousness and spirit.
In the depths of his already opened sea of consciousness, the incomplete Blade of Void rune was hidden. Further down, at the center, a huge phantom of a dragon elephant stood tall.
It had the body of an elephant and the tail of a dragon, covered in dragon scales and bearing elephant-like feet with dragon-like claws. The head resembled that of an elephant with large tusks, but beneath it was a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. It emitted a terrifying aura that could crush everything.
Under the vague phantom of the dragon elephant condensed from his spirit, Chen Chu’s sea of consciousness became extremely stable. And as he observed this phantom with his consciousness, insights about dragons and elephants emerged in his mind…
